Reynolds was informed in March of the pending legal proceedings. Her friend, Kitching, warned her of the impending storm some time earlier.
For her efforts, Reynolds threw her under the bus.
Meanwhile, the Canbra Mean Girls were on Kitching’s case and had been since forever. In March, Kitching was dead. Stories of the intolerable stress she was put under surfaced and then were disappeared.
This is a particularly horrible Canberra story involving the worst type of women imaginable. Ruthless, grasping, unsavoury, ignoble. And they don’t even wear teal.

It’s interesting looking over the shoulders of you Vic primary producers this season.
A complete inversion of normality. We are usually panicking about moisture levels and storms at this time of year. But this season has been exceptional. Even the last week of wierd ‘North Sea’ gales have not stopped us because the howling winds have dried up the rather paltry showers.
We expect to complete on Thursday and if the rain stays away, complete spraying in advance of the sorghum seeding by Christmas. Our only concern is paddock bunkers that we need to clear before the wet.

Reynolds was informed in March of the pending legal proceedings. Her friend, Kitching, warned her of the impending storm some time earlier.
Kitching died in mysterious circumstances where nobody can get their story straight, so we can only guess as to why she gave Reynolds a heads up on The Mean Girls Senate strategy.
We do know that Albanese wasn’t sympathetic to her complaints of mistreatment.
For her efforts, Reynolds threw her under the bus.
Yeah, but you’re assuming she was doing Reynolds a favor.
You could just as easily assume Kitching was doing Lehrmann a favor, since Reynolds had been meeting him for 2 years in his job as a lobbyist.

Good point raised by Bolt in his second article in The Hun re why are young 20 somethings advisors to Ministers of the Crown ie what life experience or knowledge do they have.
And in Reynolds case no wonder she was a clusterfuck as Defence Minister if these were the type of advisors being utilised.

Higgins was hired specifically at Bruce Lehrmann’s request.

We all realise that you are not the sharpest tool in the shed, but even a cursory glance at the story as it came out makes it quite clear that the whole thing was a “he said/she said” case.
But, given your claims to deep inside knowledge, why did you not put yourself forward as a witness, to prove her case? Your analysis of the Parly House CCTV system alone would have shocked the Court.

I’m watching Rowan Dean’s “The Pioneer Spirit” on Sky with three young people from different Australian cities. Based at the Fossil Farm in the Kimberley’s he takes them into the bush to recreate what the first settlers did. It’s a great concept and really interesting.
But then again, Rowan is one of the most original guys on TV.
Sorry, Fossil Downs, not farm.
One of the girls from Rowan’s program quipped that the fossils are the only things there that don’t bite.
What this indicates is the near zero institutional power of the centre right. He can act in such a manner because he knows that the various legal guilds will do nothing to censure him, nor will there be any external pressure to do so from the media, politics, business, whatever.
Fossil Downs was founded as a result of the longest cattle drive in Australia – nearly 6,000 Km from Goulburn in New South Wales.
while you say that like its about politics
foucault weeps
Just finished watching Rowan Dean’s program and saw in the credits that Gina Rinehart was the producer. The short, half-hour program is perfect for use in a classroom when teaching Australian history and I hope it does get used in that way.
They are playing politics thinking they are living The West Wing. Anyone with any talent is warehoused until a seat (safe or otherwise) can be found. No surprise so many former staffers found among the “professional” politician class
dover0beach at 9:22 – spot on. It’s a club and you’re not a member nor do you get a vote. Even when your team is batting.
You mean like that idiot Kelly O’Dwyer who was parachuted into Higgins in Victoria? Even if I was still voting Liberal I would not vote for any candidate under fifty.
From memory, Gina Rinehart brought the property from the family who had pioneered it – it had been in that family for over a hundred years.
Anyone who has been around females knows that young females, with a gargantuan sense of entitlement, who’ve never made a mark on the world, will throw such a tantrum as this, fabricate a series of lies, to ruin the lives of others, & will do it without any chance of gain for themselves.
One who believes they’ll get money from it, well she’ll be many times worse.
Your memory is correct.
“You mean like that idiot Kelly O’Dwyer who was parachuted into Higgins in Victoria? “
As bad as O’Dwyer was, her successor in Higgins, Ms Katie “I love Obama” Allen, was worse, and Allen can’t even blame the Teals for losing the seat of Higgins in May 2022, she lost Peter Costello’s former seat of Higgins to Labor.

Australia’s mortality statistics for 2022 are worse than the ABS is admitting to, so why are they tweaking the data – and where is the investigation?
eugenics in action
The Life Insurance Industry has a far better grasp on mortality rates than the ABS.
Good analysis of the electoral corruption in the US and why the left will never lose again:
The second thing that happened, and this is the most important. Philanthropy, primarily through the Center for Technology and Civic Life, started pouring money through educational 501(c)3s. The Mark Zuckerberg?funded C3s poured money into state and local election offices. They would give the state and election office money and say, You now need to enact these policies. In the old days, giving a government official money and telling them what to do with it was called a bribe, right? It was. It was a bribe. If I were to give money to a government official and say, you need to now do this, I would be arrested. But that is what happened all over the country to the tune of almost $600 million, according to 990 filings.
Let me show you Philadelphia. In Philadelphia, the original election budget was $9 million for the city office, according to records from the city council’s budget. Center for Technology and Civic Life gift to Philadelphia totaled $12.3 million, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer article on 8/26/20. They massively increased the Philadelphia budget; what did they do with the money?
These newly hired activists went door?to?door handing out ballots. Strangely, the ballots had what is called “undervoting” in it. They would vote for president — and nothing down below. Because after all, there was only one important election to the crowd that was funding all of this. The city employee could not wait around on the front porch to get all those dog catcher and judge races filled in. He would go door to door to door. Also in Philadelphia, they bought radio advertisement. They did a marketing campaign.
[A] county election official… was being told by the government, by the state of Virginia Election Board, “Allow ballots to come in after the election with no postmarks.” Think about that. Allow ballots to come in the mail late with no postmarks.
How so? Do they collect their own data?

So what’s come out recently is the story is Fauci and Co didn’t just fund wuhan, they actually shared the technology to do the gain of function. What does wuhan need $600k for anyway? The chinese gov is swimming in US dollars. doesn’t make sense. No the CIA actually swapped the tech for something, we don’t know what exactly. It also turns out that mRNA tech was actively being developed by the US gov specifically as a bioweapon countermeasure. Further it turns out as suspected that they kept Trump in the dark about all of this and probably even fed him bogus intel.
The release of the virus allowed the mRNA tech to be deployed, it allowed the demonrats to steal the election and kick Trump out. It allowed the Tyrant to take Hong Kong without a shot fired. And it accelerated the roll out of WEF agenda towards 2030. a win win all around.

C.E.W. Bean was an overly-verbose anti-Semitic swine who loathed Australia’s greatest general. This is from a piece discussing the naming of an ACT (where else?) electorate after him in 2018:
And:
Bean knew he carried enough clout to influence – or try to – general staff appointments, and sat in Prime Ministers’ parlours during and after the war. He may have been close to the hot fast stuff at the Western Front, but so were millions of other people.
Bean and his legacy can get fucked, and so can Beazley.
It’s not just the institutions that the woke have taken over, its also the intelligence apparatus itself, which is no longer working in the best interests of the US constitution or people but now working towards the One World Totalitarian Government WEF Agenda.
The war on Russia is thus entirely predictable and required and it is inevitable that if ukraine fails it will be escalated. NATO is already amassing troops on Bellarus border. You can’t have a One World Totalitarian Government with rogue states floating around.

The bloke you quote completed his ENT Surgery training in 1976.
This is 17 years before the advent of endoscopic (telescopic, internal, no external facial incisions) sinus surgery.
He must be at least 27 years old at the end of his training in 1976 + 46 more years to 2022 = 73years old.
Many older ENT surgeons were resentful of endoscopic sinus surgery because they had not trained in it.
This sounds like a diatribe from a surgeon who has never become proficient at ” newfangled” endoscopic surgery.
Sorry but there has been a revolution in all forms of surgery in the last 30 years.
Open, external incision surgery has largely been replaced by internal, endoscopic, minimally invasive surgery.
Dinosaurs who hold to the belief that endoscopic surgery that they have not grasped or trained sufficiently in is somehow inferior to outdated , external incisional surgery that they learned 46 years ago should not be held up as relevant.
An impressive effort considering the frontier wars were in full swing.

My wife and I decided to go on an organised trip to Afghanistan, to see for ourselves what the place was like. It didn’t start well as the train we were travelling on broke down just a few miles south of the station.
We found ourselves stranded in a scary hell hole where no one around us spoke any English.
The train, and surrounding streets were full of Muslims, angry bearded types glared at us.
The wife stood out in her brightly coloured sun-dress; all the local women were draped in black head to toe, burqas.
We were extremely scared and convinced that we were in deep trouble.
Just then, Jenny our Group leader ushered us off the train and around the corner from Bankstown Station to the bus terminal, where we continued our journey safely to Sydney Airport.

I’m not one to believe polls at the best of time but this reminds me of the stratospheric Rudd polls in 2008 and quite frankly, I call bullshit on this…from The Oz.
Anthony Albanese on a high after year of success: Newspoll
Anthony Albanese will end the year in a commanding electoral position, posting his highest voter approval since becoming Prime Minister after declaring to have delivered on Labor’s core election commitments in the first six months of office.
The Labor leader has also enjoyed a surge in support as the preferred prime minister despite pressure mounting to act on energy prices.
An exclusive Newspoll commissioned by The Australian shows popular support for Labor also lifting after delivering controversial industrial relations reforms and following a week of partisan political battle over the censure motion against former prime minister Scott Morrison.
But support for minor parties and independents fell to the lowest level since the May election.
The final Newspoll survey for the year shows Labor’s primary lifting a point to 39 per cent. The previous Newspoll was conducted after the October 25 federal budget.
This is the highest level of support for Labor since before the election and is more than six points stronger than its election result of 32.6 per cent
The Coalition has made no ground over the past month, with its primary vote unchanged on 35 per cent.
This is almost a point down on its election result of 35.7 per cent but is consistent with the last period of opposition following the 2007 election loss.
However, it is four points up on the 31 per cent recorded in the September Newspoll survey which marked a 15-year low for the Liberal and Nationals parties.
The combined primary vote for both major parties has recovered to 74 per cent since recording the lowest on record at the May election of just 68.4 per cent.
The two-party-preferred split between the major parties was unchanged at 55-45 per cent in Labor’s favour.
The Greens have also failed to recover ground with an unchanged primary vote of 11 per cent – which is two points down on its post election high of 13 per cent posted in August.
Pauline Hanson’s One Nation remains the dominant right-wing minority party on 6 per cent of the vote compared to Clive Palmers’s United Australia Party – which has since been deregistered by the Australian Electoral Commission – attracting just 1 per cent.”
Just say the above is true and Albosludge and Labor are in a commanding lead, perhaps it’s time that Dutton and co pulled their fingers out and started opposing Albosludge and his motley crew on some issues? And here’s something they can start opposing……the Voice.
Worth remembering that not even two years ago Newspoll was…
February 2021 preferred PM
Morrison 62%
Albanese 26%
I take polls with a big pinch of salt. However, Mr Morrison’s commanding lead as preferred PM in February 2021 (not that long ago) was stratospheric despite a hostile MSM constantly . Albosludge’s stratospheric polls are due to a fawning and fellating MSM.
So where to now for Albosludgy? Like Rudd in 2008, it WILL only go down.
…and yet it made tens of millions not hundreds of millions of white western women happy.
I’m not the one with a problem here, bucko.
Albo was featured prominently in this week’s ABC Science Show (aka the Climate Change Hour) where he made a speech and then presented The Prime Minister’s Science Awards.
What he knows about science would probably take up the whole area of a postage stamp when written down, but there he was, waxing lyrical about Da Science.
Using his recent bout of travel and handshaking with World Leaders, he recounted his having to explain to them why Australia was alone in the world “having so many climate deniers”.
Every other country, he said, had fully accepted da science and was in no doubt about climate change.
We are governed by idiots and deceivers.
Years ago an amusing story was imparted to me of when Beazley was the Defence Minister. To appreciate it, you’ve got to understand his physique meant he even tended to get wedged in the crew hatch of a Leopard tank (allegedly and apparently).
Anyway, after his visit initiated the need for the SAS to give him (another) dog and pony Counter Terrorism demonstration in Swanbourne, the boys peeled off the top half of their sweaty assault suits, tied them around their waists, and lined up in preparation to be addressed by the ‘great’ man. This revealed their Troop singlets underneath, which, as you might imagine, they ‘filled out’ appropriately.
Anyway, (allegedly and apparently) he commenced addressing them by indicating how taken he was by their singlets, and asked how he might get one.
One man stepped forward and said: “Fucking earn it!”*, and then resumed his position.

Tim Blair in today’s Tele:
MUSK EXPOSES THE REAL ELECTION FAKERY
“ELECTION deniers,” leftist magazine The Atlantic declared in October, “are a threat to democracy.”
By “deniers”, leftists refer to those who don’t accept as legitimate the result of the 2020 US presidential election, in which Democrat Joe Biden defeated Republican President Donald Trump.
Those deniers are typically depicted as deranged, anti-democratic and the source of the rage that led to the January 6, 2021, storming of the Capitol Building in Washington, DC.
These folk don’t have many mainstream friends. “American politics should be purged of election deniers,” anti-Trump conservative David French wrote recently. “Democracy is at stake.”
French and other conservative wimps are a major reason why Trump became so popular. When they say democracy is at stake, they’re talking about the cosy and corrupt Republican-Democrat power-sharing consensus.
But another bunch of election deniers are somehow immune from criticism. Despite also not accepting an election result as legitimate, they are not similarly condemned as threats to democracy.
In 2017, the ABC’s Media Watch host Paul Barry dismissed as illegitimate the 2016 US presidential election, in which Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton.
“Facebook and Twitter allowed their platforms to be used by Russia,” Barry told viewers, “to swing the US presidential election and divide America.”
According to Barry’s conspiracy theory, $146,000 worth of basic Russian-financed anti-Clinton Facebook ads were more influential than $81m worth of Facebook material presented by the combined Trump and Clinton campaigns – and more influential than the campaigns themselves.
Barry didn’t have much to say in 2020, however, when Facebook and Twitter really did influence the election result. The social media platforms either banned outright or restricted access to the New York Post’s bombshell pre-election report that outlined the twisted international business ventures of Joe Biden’s son Hunter.
The Post had obtained the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, abandoned by the whore-mongering crackhead at a repair store, and discovered reams of material implicating Joe Biden – “the big guy” – in various cash-raising scams.
This wasn’t of great interest to Barry, who sneered that the contents only “supposedly” came from Biden’s laptop, that the repair store wasn’t “100 per cent sure” of the laptop’s ownership and that “some believe the emails were more likely hacked – with claims the Russians were involved again”.
As for on the Post’s story – now recognised as accurate by the New York Times, the Washington Post and CBS – Barry merely noted that “Facebook and Twitter have taken sides … with Facebook limiting the spread of the New York Post story and Twitter initially banning users from sharing links”.
On the weekend, however, the full background of Twitter’s machinations to repress the story and “swing the US presidential election” was made clear.
Twitter banned the damning Post story by claiming it violated the company’s anti-hacking policy. But nothing was hacked. The Biden laptop simply contained everything that the Post published.
And some within Twitter knew this, as coverage by US journalist Matt Taibbi – given access to Twitter’s internal documents by new Twitter owner Elon Musk – now reveals.
“Emails and comments from former Twitter employees showed that ‘everyone knew’ the social media giant’s suppression of The Post’s scoops about Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop ‘was f–ked’,” the Post reported on the weekend, drawing from Taibbi’s coverage.
“‘They just freelanced it,” a former employee told Taibbi about how the decision came about. “Hacking was the excuse, but within a few hours, pretty much everyone realised that wasn’t going to hold. But no one had the guts to reverse it.”
Taibbi also exposed just how closely Twitter worked with Biden’s team to shut down critical commentary.
“Because Twitter was and is overwhelmingly staffed by people of one political orientation, there were more channels, more ways to complain, open to the left (well, Democrats) than the right,” he wrote.
Just like the ABC.
Speaking of which, how might Media Watch election denier Paul Barry deal with all of this?
Not well, most likely. The host has already slammed Musk as a “billionaire bully” and “notorious loudmouth” who may allow “hate speech and conspiracy theories”.
Such as Barry’s claim that Russians stole the 2016 election.
“If Musk opens up the floodgates to misinformation, fake news and hate speech, you can expect journalists and media companies to take their leave,” Barry concluded.
Musk has instead presented information and real news about his own company.
Cope and seethe, Paul.

“I couldn’t even mark an ‘X’ at election time, my hands are so crippled” volunteered a third.
“What? Speak up! What? I can’t hear you! said a fourth.
“I can’t turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck” said a fifth, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.
“My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy I can hardly walk!” exclaimed another.
“I forget where I am, and where I’m going” said an elderly gent.

Much historical research had occurred since then, he said, with historian Lieutenant General John Coates identifying 33 battle sites between Indigenous Australians and early settlers.
These must have been bloody big battles to have killed “up to 100,000” aboriginals (a la Henry Reynolds).

I know people who sell Excel/VBA dashboards etc and can get 5-10k for them. Some people earn 200k a year doing this.

His “non-core” commitment to reduce electricity costs has gone down the memory hole. And probably a few inconvenient others as well.

Assuming this to be true, that means if someone 8 inches away coughs, and you are wearing a cotton mask, the amount of virus you are subjected to is reduced by 36 times. So how about you take the initiative, and leave me out of your stupid games.
Similarly, if you want to eliminate to chance of catching it, how about next time YOU lock yourself in your home and leave me the fuck alone. I’m happy to have a pox party, and get on with life, instead of trying to hold back the tide and causing ruination on any number of fronts.

Conflict of Interest, Coercion, Corruption
Out to dinner last night with a group of associates. The venue was a waterfront pub in East Perf from where, whilst seated outside, you could see Optus Stadium which was down the river a bit.
Decent crowd, not packed. Whilst chatting to said associates, not long after we sat down I espied Messrs Hazlewood and Cummins, both minimum six four, walking past us and into the bar where I then also saw Lyon and a group of other players/entourage. Cummins was on his phone.
I thought seriously about calling out ‘Oi! Cummins! Child labour got you that Samsung!’, but I’d only just got to know the people I was with and didn’t want to embarrass them.
Yet.

“The deep state is 100% real. The swamp is real. They’re real monsters, and they were really trying to get rid of him (Trump) by lying.”
I have no idea how he plans on doing that, since they have the electoral system locked up and are importing millions of new voters a year. Nothing short of a military coup can now reverse the rot.
Anything allowed out of China should be treated with great caution. While I believe this may happen, and most likely did, the fact that she was allowed both to film and upload it makes it suspect.
Naturally, it’s all a Catch22. Which is exactly how they want to run it.

‘BIGGEST COVER-UP IN HISTORY’ I worked with the Wuhan lab – I tried to warn them & I KNOW Covid was a lab leak

Don’t like my Wonka meme?
Here’s another.
As for the N95s…dunno.
Useful for stonemasons and benchtop cutters. Until they aren’t.
Maybe that word “reduce” is the problem, Spoke. It’s in the bag of tricks with “slow the spread” and “flatten the curve”, but what a terrified Karen hears is really “zero covid”.
Try saying “I got the covid, but thankfully I was wearing a mask, otherwise it would have been more severe.” It’s been three long years of being baffled by bullshit, and unfortunately wittering paranoia and dust-of-bull cures are still running rampant.
Here’s another, non-paywalled.
Is stone dust smaller or larger than a droplet of virus studded vapour? I don’t know.
Government to cap wholesale gas prices as part of market intervention to lower power prices
Read that last sentence again: “if gas prices were capped too low, it could divert investment away from renewables”.
Run through an open cycle turbine genset, you need about 10GJ of gas to generate 1MWh of sent out electricity.
So, apparently the key risk is that the avoided fuel cost of $120/MWh is insufficient to attract further investment in ‘too cheap to meter’ renewables. The $50-$100/MWh 2016 to 2021 average wholesale price is looking a bit of a stretch, then.
Luckily Ms King tells us: “There are a lot of very smart people, very thoughtful people looking at the level of the price.”
Hopefully some of these very smart and thoughtful people are right up to speed on the economics and reservoir engineering issues of marginal CSG production.
Because there may possibly be some unintended consequences tucked away in there.
No, Bespoke. On a cold day your breath will be white with water vapour. That dissipates about a second after you breathed it out, usually after only 10 or twenty centimetres. It does so because relative humidity is less than 100%, so the microscopic water droplets evaporate. Because they as so small they have a high relative surface area to weight, and the evaporation process is very fast. In warmer temperatures it’s even faster. The load of viruses are then free to float around. Same goes with virus-loaded droplets on a mask fibre: they dry out nearly instantly and your next breath blows them out.
The empirical data* is quite clear: masks don’t work for viruses of that size. They probably work for bacteria, but they’re 100 times larger.
(* ie not the fake data from the mask health nazis.)
Lodged deep within the ‘weekend supplement’ online section of the papers – a list of the ten most disappointing cities in the world – as rated by the punters for rudeness, not living up to the brochure and general expectations:

The major battle was on the other side of the hill when they passed by, not noticing a thing untoward.
We had to reduce blood-lead concentration for both health and legal requirements. Ordinary masks never worked, the lead levels didn’t come down to the target. The ONLY way we could do it was to use positive pressure forced-draft sealed masks with a serious filter and a battery pack to drive the fan. The Racal helmets were a thousand bucks each. They worked – the guys were required to wear them and blood leads finally came down.
The particles of lead oxide were about 1 or 2 microns at their smallest. The Covid virus is 0.1 microns.
Mask or no mask, if I went up to someone and coughed at them from 8” away, I would expect to be punched.
Next time your under the nife insist the doc takes of the mask, BoN.
I suppose people visiting Orlando would have very high expectations. Unrealistic, in fact.
Visiting asia – meh. I wasn’t disappointed when visiting China, Vietnam or Johannesburg. Or even Thailand. It was exactly as I imagined it.

The masks got saturated within minutes. Then whilst kidding themselves, by coughing into their elbows, they proceeded to adjust said mask at a rate of about 3 times a minute, and smeared the disgusting shit on and across everything they touched.
It was a joke, and if doctors did that in surgery, I’d rather they not wear one.

And then wonder why he’s suddenly drowning in swill.
That bloke making the rant would have had so many progressives nodding their heads at first and then, before they realised, found they were still nodding at some of the absurdities and wondering if they should stop.

Next time your under the nife insist the doc takes of the mask, BoN.
He’d be doing you a favour. That experiment was carefully run in the UK in 1981. They ran half the operating theatres with no masks and the other half with for 6 months. Wound infections halved. So of course they went back to using masks (they are there so gooey stuff doesn’t get squirted into the eyes of the doctors and nurses).
Many trials since have tried to discredit that result but have failed.
I’d be worried about rolling blackouts myself.

There’s little doubt that Labor buys most of their constituency.
A nephew who works for a power company said they’d received four pay increases during Andrew’s last term and the talk in the smoko room – why change a winning game?
The nephew can’t stand Dan and knows it’s all built on unsustainable debt. While the money lasts Labor wins.
Bespoke, please read what I wrote. I said they don’t protect against viruses, but they probably do against bacteria because they are 100 times bigger. And MRSA especially is the problem with surgery.
You cannot make a filter that will retain viruses which you can still breathe through. Your lungs aren’t powerful enough. Which is why in level 4 labs they wear hazmat suits with external air supply.
I have often used 0.45 micron filters in the lab, you can just blow air through them if you try. Takes serious lung strength and the flow is tiny. But even a 0.45 membrane filter has pore sizes about five times too big for this critter.

That cattle drive from NSW to the Kimberley: what time of year and the route taken ? Presumably head north then swing left across the top end. Water must have been the big consideration.

Maybe we should be going back to Lister’s carbolic sprayer then. A fog of disinfectant which kills airborne and surface bacteria would seem to be better. The theatre staff can wear masks to protect their lungs from the disinfectant.

Might actually take a substantial fraction of a year. How fast do cattle move on a drive?

How about UV light of correct wavelengths? Staff can wear glasses with appropriate filters.
the reason for this apparently is that attenuated live coronavirus vaccines don’t work well at all. coronaviruses being airborne are a primary vector for bioweapons

‘Mr Mundinee Goes to Canberra’
Isn’t that good
BoN, if the virus is released instantly why isn’t a reasonable assumption some will get re-trapped by the water in the mask?
And it’s impossible to carry out a double blind experiment for masks, you unfathomable goofball. The environment could never be 100% identical. And these studies are next to useless. The only thing we can go on is hunches, which at times is good enough.
Explain to us though, a medical team is doing doing brain surgery, isn’t wearing masks and they all begin sneezing into the open cranial cavity. How do you think that would work out, you biased fool? Hallward, I’m not kidding, you’re just as weird annoying, just as unscientific as a any leftwinger.
Can anyone (other than Gargooglery MD QC) suggest what the cause of action is for Brittany and her employer and why it wouldn’t be reduced to something approaching nil via contributory negligence in any event? It seems Brittany has been badly advised and set up to fail for the benefit of others again.
Even the public servant with the two backs case doesn’t seem to offer much hope. A business trip doesn’t bear much resemblance to knocking off and heading to the pub for Friday drinks.
Oh God. Hallward Hughes peddles Denninger and Rodney Rottenhead thinks Armstrong should win the Nobel for Economics.
This doesn’t mean that I’m arguing mass masking for covid works is likely doesn’t.
Wonder what the attrition rate was and the causes.
Once there and all operational it’s a long way back to your market. How did they figure that ?
Not to mention there was a war going on (sarc).
